1000 students participated in a survey on a university campus about their TV watching habits. All

Hi, you've asked an unclear question. However, I inferred you may want to know the actual number of students represented by the percentages of 27%, and 61%.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Finding percentage usually involves performing two operations; multiplication and division.

First, all (100%) of respondents said they watched TV at least at some point during the day.

Next, 27% of respondents stated that they only watched television during prime time hours, in which the actual number of students represented by the percentage is calculated by dividing 27 by 100 and multiplying by 1000 =

$\frac{27}{100} * 1000 = 270$ .

Finally, we are told 61% of respondents stated that they spend prime time hours in their dorm rooms. The actual number of students represented by the percentage is calculated by dividing 61 by 100 and multiplying by 1000 =

$\frac{61}{100} * 1000 = 610$

Step-by-step explanation:

$4\frac{9}{20} - 1\frac{2}{6} =\\\frac{89}{20} - \frac{8}{6} = \frac{89 - 26.7}{20} = \frac{62.3}{20} \\$

$4\frac{6}{9} - 3\frac{3}{6} =\\\frac{42}{9} - \frac{21}{6} = \frac{252 - 189}{54} = \frac{63}{54} = 1\frac{9}{54}$

$2\frac{2}{4} - 1\frac{1}{3} =\\\frac{10}{4} - \frac{4}{3} = \frac{30 - 16}{12} = \frac{14}{12} = 1\frac{2}{12}$

If a position on the ocean floor is 12 kilometers below the sea level, which value describes the elevation of the ocean floor

LenKa [72]

Answer:

- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The sea level serves as a reference point and may be used to describe objacetsvir positions above or below it. Therefore, the sea level is regarded as a zero point or level. Hence, objects below are describes to be at a negative distance while those above are assigned the positive sign. Hence, for a position which is 12 km below sea level, then the object is said to be at a distance of - 12 km (below sea level takes the negative sign.)

Silvio is an air-traffic controller who must calculate the altitude of an incoming plane. He sees the plane at an angle of eleva

Mrac [35]

Since the problem is not telling us the height of Silvio, we are going to assume it is not relevant for our calculations.
Let $h$ the altitude of the incoming plane. We know for our problem that the distance between Silvio and the tower is 3 miles, Also we know that the angle of elevation to the plane is 40°. With this information we can create a triangle as shown in the figure. We need a function that relates the angle of elevation with its opposite and adjacent sides, that function is tangent.
$tan \alpha = \frac{opposite.side}{adjacent.side}$
$tan(40)= \frac{h}{3}$
$h=3tan(40)$
$h=2.5miles$

We can conclude that we should use the trig function tangent to model this situation; also, we can conclude that the equation that describes this situation is $h=3tan(40)$ .

after the holiday season, the average number of costumers per day at the game galaxy store decreased from 612 to 450. find the p

andrey2020 [161]

Simple, finding markdown, use these two formulas.

Markdown=Original-New
and
Percent Markdown= Markdown Amount/Original*100

So,

Markdown=612-450
M=162

Markdown%= 162/612*100
M%=0.2647*100
M%=26.5 (rounded)

Thus, there was a 26.5% decrease.
